Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Driving the first pile at the Belfast Corporation Electricity Supply Station, Musgrave Channel Road, Thursday 11 September 1919 (White Star Liner 'Olympic' in the background) 46 x 56 cm. (18 1/8 x 22 in.) by James Humbert Craig was sold in the The Irish SaleVision & Voice auction at Bonhams in Dublin in November this year. The price achieved of EUR 10,240.00 was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as EUR 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by James Humbert Craig achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work A Soft Day, Connemara in May 2007 with an auction result of GBP 69,600.00 (€ 102,421.11).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit Driving the first pile at the Belfast Corporation Electricity Supply Station, Musgrave Channel Road, Thursday 11 September 1919 (White Star Liner 'Olympic' in the background) 46 x 56 cm. (18 1/8 x 22 in.) von James Humbert Craig wurde im November diesen Jahres in der Auktion The Irish SaleVision & Voice bei Bonhams in Dublin versteigert. Der dabei erzielte Preis von EUR 10.240,00 lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit EUR 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von James Humbert Craig erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit A Soft Day, Connemara im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 69.600,00 (€ 102.421,11).
